Minimum wage in Croatia

Minimum wage in Croatia is regulated by the Minimum Wage Act (Croatian: Zakon o minimalnoj plaći) and is defined as the lowest gross monthly wage for a full-time worker, based on a 40-hour work week.[1][2] For workers who do not work full time, minimum wage is lower, in proportion to their working hours.[1] Additional compensation for overtime work, night work, and work on Sundays and holidays is not included in the minimum wage.[1] Minimum wage is recalculated once a year and is effective throughout the next calendar year.[3]

As of 1 January 2018, the minimum gross monthly wage in Croatia is 3,439 HRK (c. €460), which is equivalent to a net amount of 2,752 HRK (c. €370), or 43% of average monthly wage.[4] In January 2018, minimum wage was received by 45,245 workers,[5] down from c. 80,000 in 2014.[6]
